1 Tbsp butter 6 eggs ½ cup milk ½ tsp ground pepper ½ cup grated cheese

Put the butter in a skillet over low heat. As it melts, beat the milk, eggs, and pepper together until mostly homogeneous. Stir in the cheese.

Increase heat to medium high. Pour the eggs into the skillet and let sit for about a minute. Gently scrape along the bottom of the skillet with the flat edge of a spatula. Let sit again for about 30 seconds, then scrape again. As it loses liquid, stir it more frequently until it is all cooked.

For larger clumps and a stronger egg flavor, reduce milk to ¼ cup.

kale oil salt pepper

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Wash the kale. Cut off the stems and cut the ribs out of the leaves. Cut the leaves into wide strips.

Pour some oil onto a baking sheet (a few tablespoons should suffice, although it depends on how much kale you have). Put the kale strips on the baking sheet, spreading them around and coating them with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Try to have them spread out evenly and not overlapping a lot.

Bake for 3-8 minutes, until they are light and crispy. The time on this varies depending on how much you've made, so just check it after a few minutes.

4 cups flour 2 cups warm water 1 Tbsp salt 2 tsp yeast ¼ cup honey

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 tsp honey in the water. Stir in the yeast. When it is starting to foam, add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, mixing completely after each addition. On the third cup, add in the salt as well. Dump the fourth cup of flour onto the clean counter, then dump the dough on the flour and knead it. You may not need to knead in all of the flour, just until the dough is no longer sticky clumps. Knead the dough until it is smooth and stretchy. Coat the inside of the bowl with oil, coat the outside of the dough with oil, put it in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle between ½” and ¾” thick. Drop globs of honey randomly onto the dough. Don't spread it in an even layer. Roll up the dough into a log and form into a loaf. Grease the inside of the bread pan and put in the dough. Cut a slash along the top of the loaf. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Put the bread pan in the oven, then set the temperature for 350° F. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown & the loaf sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.

2 cups flour 2 Tbsp sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter 1 cup buttermilk 1 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a small baking sheet or dust with coarse cornmeal.

In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Add buttermilk. Mix with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead gently until smooth, about 1 minute.

Shape into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten into a 7” circle. Dough will be about 1 ½” thick. Press a large knife into the loaf, almost cutting through to the bottom, dividing it into quarters.

Bake 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove to wire rack to cool. Brush top with melted butter.

¾ cup sugar ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp grated nutmeg ¼ tsp allspice 1/8 tsp salt 1 egg 4 egg whites 1 ½ cups milk 1 ½ cups half-and-half

Combine sugar with the spices in a large bowl. Add the egg and egg whites and beat on high speed for 5 minutes.

Heat 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly, until it is steaming (not boiling). Slowly mix half of that into the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk in the pan. On medium heat, cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is steaming again and thickened enough to thinly coat the back of the spoon. Do not boil it.

Remove from heat and stir it frequently as it cools for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining milk and half-and-half. Cover and chill.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Have corn on the cob that is still inside the husk. Put it in the oven, straight on the oven rack, and cook for 30 minutes.

It comes out very sweet, tender and flavorful, a different taste than when the corn is boiled. Leaving the husk on while it's roasting traps in the moisture.
